A Crook of Desire

I quietly enter a stranger’s house, calm and careful. For me, it’s routine — a few drawers, a few minutes, leaving without a trace. But when I reach the bedroom, something begins to slip out of control. I find erotic toys. I tell you everything that’s happening in my head. The thoughts come on their own — too intimate, too honest. This isn’t my house. Not my things. And that’s exactly why I feel the thrill. Illicit. Arousing. I tell you how much the unfamiliar space affects me — someone else’s intimacy, the awareness that I shouldn’t be here. Every sound is louder than it should be. Drawers. Fabric under my fingers. My breathing. The film leads you through my thoughts — whispered, slow. ASMR elements make the tension build without rush, exactly the way I feel it. And then I hear a key in the lock.
